A foul-mouthed man was caught allegedly trying to steal two women’s strappy tops from a branch of Zara.
The suspected shoplifter was collared by two burly security guards outside the flagship Oxford Street store.
They caught him in neighbouring North Row and two £10 yellow tops were seen in the road.

One onlooker filmed the confrontation on his mobile phone.
He said: “It’s kicking off.”
The crook told one of the guards: “You motherf*cker.”
He replied: “I told you, I told, why you came in?
“Why you came in?
“Why you came in?”
His colleague then picked up the stolen yellow tops from the ground.
He then added: “Come inside.
“Call the police.”
The guard claimed: “You are a thief.”
He then suspected the man was hiding something else.
He continued: “In your pockets.
“Give it to me.”
The man replied: “It’s not from you.
“F*ck you.”
He walks off and the 56-second video then comes to an end.
It happened on Wednesday (25 Sept), as reported on Need To Know.
Londoner Robert Bird said: “There’s no excuse for stealing.
“It’s not desperation, it’s greed.
“People need to take responsibility for their actions instead of blaming the system.
“Theft is theft, and it shouldn’t be tolerated.”
Björn joked: “Telling you now, Zara sells nothing in his size.”
Pulkit Sharma added: “I mean it’s just embarrassing to get caught stealing from Zara.”
Another added: “Give that guard a raise.”
Zara and Met Police have been approached for comment.
